Neuroscience and Music Perception

This study investigates how self-generation and sound intensity interact to modulate perceptual bias in auditory perception, finding no effect on sensitivity but significant interactions on perceived loudness.

The paper investigates beat perception in polyrhythms, finding that subdivisions, not beats, are the basic unit of perception, with a preference for binary groupings.

This study examines how empathy traits modulate functional connectivity during continuous music listening using fMRI data from 36 participants.

The paper maps how acoustic and phonological speech features are encoded across human auditory cortex using direct neural recordings.

This study replicates and extends previous findings on consonant/dissonant perception by musicians and non-musicians using EEG and fMRI, showing top-down modulation in musicians and shared neural substrates.

The paper examines ITD tuning in the rat inferior colliculus and finds that neural d' correlates better with behavioral performance than mutual information.

The paper links individual differences in informational masking to hemodynamic responses in the superior temporal gyrus using functional near infrared spectroscopy.

This study shows that the precedence effect in spatial hearing develops at the cortical population level but not at individual neuron sites in rats.

The paper investigates auditory contrast enhancement in humans using EEG, finding robust cortical enhancement that correlates with behavior and supports a theoretical model of neural adaptation of inhibition.

This study shows that the temporal association cortex (TeA) in mice processes sounds with sparser neuronal responses, enhancing sensitivity to complex sounds like frequency modulated sweeps.

This study investigates how neural entrainment during nonlinguistic statistical learning relates to the emergence of explicit knowledge using magnetoencephalography.

The paper examines how age and hearing loss affect neural tracking of voice fundamental frequency, finding age-related decline and cortical compensation in hearing impairment.

This paper examines conditions under which forward entrainment is observed or not, reviews conflicting studies, and explores potential mechanisms.

The paper uses naturalistic audiovisual data to reveal tonotopic organization in human auditory cortex, showing nonlinear response properties and speech selectivity in remote regions.

The paper investigates how attention affects auditory cortex neurons and finds that while single neurons show mixed selectivity, population-level analysis reveals enhanced encoding of attended sound features through emergent population codes.

The paper shows that sound-source identity alters spatial tuning in auditory cortex neurons during active navigation, revealing co-existent egocentric and allocentric information.

The paper demonstrates that oddball stimuli evoke long-latency potentials in urethane-anaesthetised mice, distinct from standard stimuli, using a double-epoch subtraction technique.

This study examines the Val66Met polymorphism prevalence in musicians and a control group, finding no differences and suggesting potential compensation through practice.

This paper proposes a Bayesian framework for modeling human rhythm tracking as continuous phase and tempo inference, introducing new models that account for uncertainty and expectations.

The paper investigates how human auditory cortex processes auditory stimuli across multiple time scales using EEG and computational modeling, finding that neural responses adapt to different frequency intervals over distinct time scales.

This paper provides a dynamical systems framework to explain the auditory continuity illusion using a neural population model and identifies mechanisms for perceptual continuity.

The paper shows that sustained neural activity latency reflects rapid perceptual learning of auditory patterns, while magnitude may reflect learning outcomes like better prediction.

The paper investigates auditory temporal processing and auditory-motor interactions, finding that optimal performance occurs in the theta range and that auditory-motor coupling extends this range.
